I've a client who is currently complaining of performance issue in their server. They've a set of automated process which they run for bid processing and its causing a bottleneck in server. Most often server gets hung and have to be restarted.I've done some analysis on it and have following observations

there was no waiting or blocking tasks in the queue or the number of waiting threads is less than the number of processors
The memory also look fairly stable and there was sufficient memory available always
There were some very few occasions (2) where we had some high disk waiting queue and other than that it was also ok
Page splits/sec were quite high on more occasions and they did change fill factor of indexes to handle this
The Catch hit rate was also quite high (99 %)
I've also looked and asked to rebuild indexes/stats on few of tables
The analysis of top worst performing queries suggested most of them have high amount of logical reads. There were also couple of cases where OPENROWSET query is causing high execution time which is a simple pull of data and a xp_cmdshell call

Could anybody give me pointers on how to proceed on this further?
